Thu 21 - The Big Stage
Stina Fors
The choreographer, performance artist, drummer, and singer is a one woman punk band. Born in Sweden, based between Amsterdam and Vienna, she sometimes kills with a loud voice, sometimes seduces until exhaustion. Her howls are not bare words; they are fused with spits and fluids, a certain wetness. She uses the hammering of her drums, her voice and body to experiment and improvise a live set that is never the same. A play between the stable and unstable becomes a thrilling and nerve seeking force.
A regular performer in the nightlife of Amsterdam, Fors has toured with her one-woman-punk band in various music, dance, and theater festivals around Europe and the USA. There are no recordings of the music, the material is created live in the moment. Fors found her love for sound and voice and from there developed a repertoire of solo performances exploring her interest for what a ‘sounding body’ can be. At times she creates growling monologues, ventriloquist songs, and dinosaur calls. Formerly part of the improvised goth jazz duo SEKT (NL), she also collaborates as a drummer, dancer, and vocalist in works of other artists around Europe.
